Take a break from the thrillers. Here's the whole case: Sully stopped showing us his finds. Baz blames a raccoon. Dash wants proof. Phoebe already knows. By the end of the book, so will you.
Think Like the D-Squad is a critical and creative-thinking book for ages 8–12, and the teachers are four real dogs. Sully notices what everyone else walks past. Baz wonders wildly, out loud. Dash tests ideas instead of arguing about them. Phoebe asks the question nobody thought to ask. Eighteen short chapters of story, real science, and five-minute dares turn their moves into your kid's: Notice. Wonder. Test. Zoom Out.
It's for the kid who races ahead, the kid who needs more time, the quiet kid, the restless kid, and the stubborn kid, because thinking differently is not a defect. It's written by a guy who was the kid his schools gave up on in second grade. The dogs are real. They supervised every page. The story behind the book is at https://philweiss.com/about
Kids can read it on their own: big type, open spacing, and short chapters. The experiments are simple enough for a kid to run solo, with the receipts in the back. A dare at the end of every chapter, discussion questions, a glossary, and a fill-in case file. Standards-aligned, so teachers and homeschoolers can use it straight out of the box.
This school year, 2,000 paperbacks are going free to schools, shelters, and homeschooling families in the Tampa–Sarasota area because everybody deserves the right tools. Know a school or a worthy organization there? Nominate them at https://philweiss.com/donations
